Thank you!

Just to finish this off, I got two of the three packages that Greg sent to me.

Yep, the red tape you see on the package is from Japan Post, I made them angry at me a few years back, highlighting their incompetence, and now they open just about EVERY one of my packages that is sent through them....
Can't fight city hall I guess

They even attach this nice little bilingual seal saying that they opened my package.

Well, that is 12 of 18 clamps, and the 4 clamp extender things that Greg brought over when he was here for work last month.

Found a spot for them on the ceiling, both pipes have pipe hangers right beside where the clamps are.

I can't wait to get a chance to use them, they sure are substantial!

Thanks again Greg, you are a top drawer guy!

Cheers!
